it scares me how easy and quiet any lug/ locker is to remove with a tapered reverse threaded lug remover. are there any insanely difficult ones to remove out there? im looking for something really odd, not "well my rays lugs have a key that absolutely no one else has, not even rays" cause the removal tool doesnt care.

my best advice is use 2 or 3 sets we use Gorilla locks. so you would have 3 diferent keys even with the best lock removing kit it will take 15min per wheel this would discorage even the boldest of thiefs

Can't you get gorilla locks off with just a 17mm socket? I no for sure the ones they sell at pep boys come off with a 17. Maybe they make higher end that I don't no about....

yeah, gorilla locks suck. they are soft with crappy plating and easily removed. thats the good thing about mc gard. they are hard as hell and the plating is very tough. the tapered left hand thread removers have a hell of a time getting a grip on them.

I dont know about Gorilla, but i can say from experience that the oem mcgard locks are pos. when i was getting my winter tires put on at discount tire, the key broke so they had to hammer on the removal socket. when i looked at the break in the key design, it looked like the key was made from cheap plastic. mcgaurd has the right idea about having the locking design on the inside of the lug instead of the outside. they just need to refine their manufacturing process to prevent breaking. Im pretty sure Gorilla has lock nuts with the lock design on the inside instead of the perimeter of the lugs. This just my $.02

found a set of twenty gorilla lock nuts for $77 shipped. extremepsi.com
